05' malibu hints

[Guest dumplin]

I did an 05' Malibu Friday , door panels are cake to r&r . Front panels have two push pins on outer edge , plastic cover behind door pull with two torx screws , speaker panel pops out and slides up , door latch is a little tight , small ,flat screwdriver makes short work of it , rubber seals slide right out . Rear door same as front only minus speaker panel . Rear glass goes in easy one piece and lays smooth over dot matrix border , no matrix at the top . hooray !

That car is lightyears beyond the previous malibu, I really like tinting the new malibu compaired to the other style.

Man those roll up's suck!!! 2 times I cut the film a little too much oversize and couldnt get it behind the rubber trim(on sides and top corner) without focking up the rest of the film.

How are yall handling these rollup's?

yank the bottom rubbers out, and its a cake walk no problem sliding the tint in.

I overcut everything (almost) and have no problems with em

really?? damn I pulled the whole panel and the felt gasket. I even shot the sides with my extra strong slip solution... maybe its a rookie thing?

Are you using a 2-ply film?
